1. Hashirama- He did most things right but his major fail was not killing madara who was able to be the one ultimately responsible for everything Akatsuki, Obito turned evil, and the start of the war. But there were many things that could've prevented it along the way

2. Tobirama- Many say he's the reason why madara went bad and edo tensei etc... really? Despite being a tobirama fan listen to what I'm saying. Madara turned evil by the fact his own clan turned him down and the death of his brother. Madara turned evil on his own. Obito turned evil by rin's death. the uchiha's treatment in the leaf is irrelevant to what's happening now. Tobirama sealed edo tensei away with any other forbidden jutsu. but orochimaru turning bad stole it and learned it himself.

3.Hiruzen- For as long as he's been hokage, with the leaf still standing he did pretty well. But in the naka shrine despite orochimaru blaming the 2nd for everything. Hiruzen blamed everything on himself. He gave Danzo power who used it to do many dark things in the village and giving power to someone that hates you for being hokage isn't a good idea! Orochimaru conducted forbidden experiments to which hiruzen just looked the other way and took action when it was far too late and let him get away?

4. Minato wasn't hokage long enough to do any good or bad.

5.Tsunade even though weaker compared to the others did the best she could. However the gears of war were already in motion. I believe whatever tsunade could have done it was too late to prevent it. But if she were more powerful and more aggressive she could have done more.


My personal answer.... Hiruzen. He could have taken action to prevent orochimaru from learning edo tensei thus Madara not being revived. Danzo also helped orochimaru with his experiments. Tobirama fixed his mistakes and Hashirama even though not killing madara couldn't have done much being in hiding for years. Tsunade's time as hokage was too late in time to effect how the war would have gone. Even though less aggressive Hiruzen was the one held more responsible.

I'd say Tobirama. He made all the Uchiha pissed. And also created the Edo Tensei which was a great factor in the war. :|

so it's Hiruzen's fault that Oro learned Tobirama's jutsu :vincent:

Minato. Obito even said it. Or Hashirama for making Madara so butt hurt.

Hashirama, he could've let Tobirama finish him off when Tobirama had the chance instead of stopping Tobirama like an idiot.

yes! he didn't take action when orochimaru was experimenting. he knew orochimaru was up to no good but couldn't accept that his "favorite" is evil now.

None of them really. The blame is shared between Madara and Obito. If Madara never planted the thoughts into Obito's head, then Obito would've never wanted to collect the Tailed Beasts in the first place.

Oro was fodder Madara was a real threat and Hashirama didn't care to kill him simply because they were best friends...

well actually its Minato. Because if he killed Tobi back then, none this would have happen. same goes for Hashirama.

they both failed to stop for what is going to happen.

Every hokage is responsible for the war in some way except Tsunade i guess

Hashirama was too soft to deal with Madara properly. Tobirama created those op techniques. Hiruzen hesitated way too much with Orochimaru , he should have killed him . Minato failed to save his team and couldn't stop Obito and the Kyuubi...
